The Appeal
The 105 Series Alfa Romeo Spider is one of the most iconic Italian convertibles of all time, combining beautiful Pininfarina styling with the spirited performance that Alfa Romeo is renowned for.
This 1973 example represents the desirable Series 2 variant in range-topping 2.0-litre form. As an original European specification model with apparent matching numbers, this Spider offers authenticity that many examples lack, having avoided the emissions equipment and impact bumpers that compromised US-market versions of the era.
